Athletic Bilbao beat Real Sociedad 2-1 at San Mames in round 11 of the Spanish league. After the Basque derby, Athletic Bilbao coach Edin Terzic said his side had received preferential treatment, while Jose Mourinho declined to comment on a separate penalty involving Kylian Mbappe against Racing Santander.
The penalty in the Basque derby
Before the break, the referee awarded a penalty to Nico Williams after he went down following a collision with defender Jon Aramburu. Real Sociedad's players protested the decision, but Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez kept it in place and Alex Berenguer converted the spot-kick to put Bilbao ahead.
Terzic's reaction
The Athletic Bilbao coach said: "Today I feel that we received preferential treatment."
He also said: "I liked Nico's move. You have to go into the penalty area, otherwise you won't get a penalty. He entered the area very well, and succeeded in getting a penalty for us."
Terzic said he had not spoken about the officiating since the start of the season, despite believing his team had suffered worse calls in earlier matches.
Mourinho declines to discuss Mbappe penalty
Jose Mourinho declined to comment on the penalty awarded to Kylian Mbappe against Racing Santander.
Mourinho argued that the penalty awarded to Racing Santander after a handball by Aurelien Tchouameni should not have been given because the ball had rebounded off the Real Madrid player's body before striking his hand.
He said he could not judge the handball incident from his seat because of the distance, but felt reassured once he had seen the replay on the tablet.
Mourinho on how matches are watched
Reflecting on that incident, the Portuguese said: "There is also a factor, which is that people watch matches with their hearts, and there are many who do not know the rules."
